Same entry in ps.-Zonaras. The headword is perhaps extracted from the quotation given, though it does also occur -- and in a literal sense -- in Oppian, Halieutica 2.526, and generated scholiastic comment there.
[1] Greek Anthology 5.234.3 (Paulus Silentiarius), now much older, the poet has succumbed to love.
